About Pidgin

Pidgin is a chat program which lets you log in to accounts on multiple
chat networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with
friends on MSN, talking to a friend on Google Talk, and sitting in a Yahoo
chat room all at the same time.

Pidgin is compatible with the following chat networks out of the box:
AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber/XMPP, MSN
Messenger, Yahoo!, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, Novell GroupWise Messenger,
Lotus Sametime, SILC, SIMPLE, MXit, and Zephyr. It can support many
more with plugins.

Pidgin supports many features of these chat networks, such as file
transfers, away messages, buddy icons, custom smilies, and typing
notifications. Numerous plugins also extend Pidgin's functionality above and
beyond the standard features.

Pidgin integrates with the system tray on Windows, GNOME2, KDE 3, and
KDE 4.

Pidgin is under constant development. Releases are usually frequent and
driven by user contributions, such as bug reports and
patches.

Pidgin is free and contains no ads. All our code is open source and
licensed under the GNU General Public License. This means you can get Pidgin's
underlying code and modify it to suit your needs, as long as you publish the
changes you make for everyone to benefit from as well.
